SHADOWRUN: DRAGONFALL VINYL (REVIEW)

April 9, 2018 | Ryan Paquet | 1 Comment Share this SHADOWRUN: DRAGONFALL VINYL (REVIEW)

On February 26, 2018, Black Screen Records released the soundtracks to Shadowrun: Dragonfall, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong on 180g Vinyl LP. Jon Everist composed the scores and graciously supplied OSV with signed review copies of both albums and their respective art prints. This week’s review focuses on Shadowrun: Dragonfall, and my full review of Shadowrun: Hong Kong is on the way.

Over the past few years the release of video game soundtracks on vinyl has blossomed, and some have been more disappointing the others. I am very happy to report that this release does not disappoint. Read on for my full review of the album, which includes a look at the album art and packaging as it’s an essential part of the experience.

Jon Everist recently tweeted that his soundtrack to Shadowrun: Dragonfall Director’s Cut will be coming to Bandcamp on March 1, 2016. You can preview the tracks that will be featured on the album below.

The game was released prior to Shadowrun: Hong Kong, but from what I’ve listened to the music is of the same calibre. You can read my review of Shadowrun:Hong Kong here, I also chose Jon Everist composer of the year for 2015.

I’m hoping that there will be physical release of album on CD. Stay tuned to OSV for further news on the album’s release. Have you played Shadowrun: Dragonfall Director’s Cut? What did you think of the music?
